World Kickboxing Champion Reveals Mindset Secrets to Succeed in Life and Business — Thomas Canestraro

How do you rebuild yourself when the thing that defined you is over? I sat down with Thomas Canestraro, a world champion kickboxer turned actor, fitness model and personal trainer who has worked with Sylvester Stallone and Blake Lively and on Expendables 3.

Thomas shares how being bullied at 12 made him comfortable alone, a defence that helped him become world champion, why he lost a fight after winning the European belt and then won the rematch with the belt on the line, how to tell rest from regression, and why he thinks the mind quits before the body does. We also get into starting again at the bottom as an actor, from accent classes to acting school and constant rejection.

He finishes with a plan for anyone chasing a goal: make a vision board, take it one step at a time, and try five trainers before you pick one.
